History

Background

After the incineration (and some would argue return to the ether) of Hendricks Rangel, Basilio Fig stepped onto the field. As a sentient palm tree growing near one of the Fridays' most frequented playing spots, Fig had already been a fan of blaseball for quite some time. At the very moment that Rangel's physical form released, Our Lady of Perpetual Friday graced Fig with a renewed vigor in their roots, allowing them to stride across the field and join the Fridays.

Eyewitnesses say that each time Fig steps up to bat time seems to slow. In that instant a pair of muscular arms grow from their barklike torso allowing them to swing their bat.

Fig is close friends with a family of toucans that were blown into their upper branches by a passing storm. Fridays player Fletcher Yamamoto can be found nesting with Fig on their days off together.

Career as a Taco

Fig settled quickly in the infinite Los Angeli, helped in part by the similarly tropical climate. They found a new home on Figueroa Street, which is now and has always been named for them. Fellow Tacos teammate Basilio Mason has yet to comment on no longer being the only Basilio on the team, but Fig expressed that they were "happy to be a part of the Tacos name sharing tradition."

The Many Faces of Basilio Fig

According to the Interdimensional Rumor Mill, some things never change, even across dimensions. Someone, somewhere, decided to catalog all the different versions of Basilio Fig in a Rumor Registry, but today the version from IF-121.40 is playing. Here’s what the rumors say...

Fig and their Flowers

Basilio Fig is a friendly horticulturist who has lived in downtown Los Angeli post-Feedback from the Fridays, cultivating LA-native plants in their small apartment and utilizing upwards space to build lush lofts of flowers, ferns, mushrooms, and other herbs. They are often seen bringing their plants to the Tacos dugout before games, giving gifts to their teammates for good luck, such as giving a pothos to Wyatt Pothos after a particularly rough series. Fig is also responsible for the several palm trees lining the infield of Al Pastor Memorial Stadium.

For team wide Taco Tuesdays, Fig often brings fresh cilantro and tomatoes from their garden and helps prepare tacos for stadium staff. Fig is known to travel back to Hawai'i during off season in order to meet up with their original team and landscapes. Studying local flora and fauna, especially the flowers that have often been seen to sprout from their leaves, Fig feels at home both in Hawai'i and in Los Angeli.


Return to the Fridays

In Season 2, Fig was burped out of the Black Hole(Black Hole) and collided with Fridays batter Mags Highlife. After apologizing somberly, they took up the bat, back on their original team and in their native home after a long time. They remain a poor cook and an excited skateboarder.
